That is the initrd/anaconda mismatch I was suggesting. You need to use
the kernel and initrd from the iso your trying to install. You could use
mkusbinstall from:
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/xs-livecd;a=blob;f=util/mkusbinstall;hb
=HEAD
OR doing it the long way, mount the usb drive, mount the iso image, and
copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from the iso to the usb drive, overwriting
what is present on the usbdrive. Unmount and retry.
